Hi everyone, my name is Marie. As you can see by my age, I am was not even yet a glimmer in my father's eye when big band and swing were the rage. I just find the music wonderful and the dancing so much fun. Not like what we have today, even though I do enjoy music of all kinds.
I am married and my hubby and I have one great son. We live in Texas and we also lived in Chula Vista, California for a time.
Ummm, I think that's about it for the about me section.
Looking forward to making new friends
TURN ON'S
Good Music, Good Books, Good Food and Good Friends!
Cuddling with my sweetheart hubby and all that good stuff.
TURN OFF'S
I am so turned off at what is currently happening in this great country of ours. It makes me so sad and so mad. But I try to keep a smile because there is still so much beauty in the world. I love to laugh and people who don't have a sense of fun or humor turn me off. Cheaters and liars are horrible.
Mean people and bullies.
Evening, am tired I go from doing nothing., to doing to many errands ., nice weather today, watching the Red Sox., and yes its Friday yeah hope you have great plans for the weekend enjoy your night, hugs
Annette Hanshaw sings "If You Want the Rainbow (You Must Have the Rain),"
recorded in New York City on October 19, 1928. Released on Columbia
Records' labels Diva 2766G and Harmony 966H.
For a beautiful version of this song brilliantly set to a cartoon movie
by Nina Paley, See "Sita Sings The Blues"-If You Want the Rainbow by Nina Paley.
Amazing how Annete Hanshaw's songs show that the story of the Ramayana
transcends time, place and culture. And more amazing how Nina Paley
found it out. "Sita Sings the Blues" is based on the Hindu epic "The Ramayana". Sita
is a goddess separated from her beloved Lord and husband Rama. Nina
Paley is an animator whose husband moves to India, then dumps her by
email. Three hilarious shadow puppets narrate both ancient tragedy and
modern comedy in this beautifully animated interpretation of the
Ramayana. Set to the 1920's jazz vocals of torch singer Annette Hanshaw,
Sita Sings the Blues earns its tagline as "the Greatest Break-Up Story
Ever Told." It is written, directed, produced and animated by American
artist Nina Paley.
From Sita Sings The Blues, "If You Want The Rainbow You Must Have The Rain" by Annette Hanshaw
Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 500 employees and has the following statistics: * 29 have been accused of spousal abuse * 7 have been arrested for fraud * 19 have been accused of writing bad checks * 117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses * 3 have done time for assault * 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit * 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges * 8 have been arrested for shoplifting * 21 are currently defendants in lawsuits * 84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year * 1 one ran a stop sign and killed a man on a motorcycle Can you guess which organization this is? Give up yet? It's the 535 members of the United States Congress. The same group of idiots elected by us that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.
